Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC01

[KerlanRayne]

Gosh, I hope I don't regret this . . . I'm pretty useless in a fight unless I can make myself a little stronger. Oh well - sleep it is!

Manny exchanges one of his Fist of Stone spells for a Sleep spell.

"I know you don't have as many spells as the others, so If you want, I can cast Mage Armor on you and you could replace that with Sleep."

OOC: Well Leif, you should decide where to put Sleep in Xavier's spell list. Other than that, once Manny has responded, we should be ready to go.

 

[Leif]

Me? Why can't renau1g do that himself? Hey, renau1g, if you read this, you need to add Sleep to Xavier's spellbook. (Actually, I already left a message for him to that effect in the RG.)

OOC: Because he'll be gone until at least the end of the week, if not longer, according to the thread I linked to earlier. Besides, what I was talking about was his memorized spells. He'll need it memorized if we start off before he gets back.

 

[Leif]

Ok, fair enough. I'll take care of it in the same post in the RG, so that thread doesn't get too cluttered up with DM comments and schtuff.

"A most generous offer, kind sir! I'll take you up on it."

"Not at all, Lassie! It's my pleasure to take care of the Esteemed Wizards under my roof! I hope that they are hungry! I've got a big mess of spicy sausage, hashed browns, pancakes, and good homemade syrup all ready for them! And plenty of good, stout coffee, too!

Kerlan responds as he comes down the stairs. "That sounds delicious Boris. We'll need a hearty breakfast because we are heading out to the keep after we eat." Kerlan eats up the food and gets up to leave when he's done. He will wait for everyone else before he goes.

Kerlan eats up the food and gets up to leave when he's done. He will wait for everyone else before he goes.

Kerlan can't seem to make any headway on breaskfast: every time he eats a stack of pancakes, Boris slaps an omelette on his plate. When he finishes the omelette, Boris gives him a big pile of bacon and sausage. After awhile, even "Bottomless Kerlan" begins to slow down, and then Boris cuts back and stops "shoveling" food at Kerlan.

Hobgoblin Keep

After a pleasant breakfast, the wizards finish their preparations and head out to do battle with the Hobgoblins. We can advance to your arrival at the keep if there are no objections, so just let me know what actions you take as you approach.

Here's the map of the Hobgoblin Keep for easier reference:

 

[KerlanRayne]

While still out of earshot from the keep, Kerlan casts Mage Armor on himself and Manny using his Beguiler spell slots. "I believe that I should take the guard on the north west corner of the keep so that I can get the ladders in place. Manny can take the south east corner because his dog is faster than any of us. Xavier and Tylara can take the other 2 corners. Once we are in place we will take out all 4 guards at the same time with Sleep. After that you should keep to the cover of trees until arriving at my corner. Once you see the ladder up and me gone, head for it and climb over."

"Thanks, Kerlan. I feel almost invincible now! The plan sounds good to me."
